Mick

MICK is about 2-1/2 years old and came in to TCCR’s care from an animal
control shelter that found him as a stray. Although his owners were
contacted that their dog had been found, they opted not to take him back
into their family. Despite Mick’s strikingly beautiful blue merle
coloring and happy-go-lucky temperament, it’s obvious that he’s a
kinda-collie, and not 100% purebred. But he doesn’t know that and the
collies in his foster home have adopted him as one of their own. Mick
is a smart dog that picked up the household routine and learned basic
commands very quickly. He is trustworthy indoors, there’s no
inappropriate chewing or getting on furniture, likes getting groomed and
is not a barky critter. He lives to play with people and other dogs.
His picture shows him in that play mode, just asking for someone to
join in the fun. Until Mick outgrows his boisterous, youthful
enthusiasm, it would be better that he not be placed with frail or
unsteady-on-their-feet humans or dogs. But if you’re looking for a very
loving pet that can keep up with an active family.
